2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 21

Sharks great byes are super annoying with a Brailey and Gallen for me being the best route to McInnes

Might burn a couple trades this week on downgrades. Looks like money in the bank will very soon be needed

Moga + oates vs BJ + rapana.
Roberts + kahu vs croker + cotric

Oh right, so i had the wingers around the wrong way. Hmm that's definitely a more interesting matchup. Oates may be able to keep Rapa quiet but it will obviously require moga doing a job on BJ or his inside men helping him out so Oates doesn't have to come off his wing and give Rapa space. I think we attack the left in that case and feed Croker some early ball which is hopefully good news for Cotric.  Certainly going to be a good battle.

Interesting to note that Phythian > Slater costs 78k

Welcome back Arsen!

wait for him to bottom out...

Well has a BE of 64 so he could potentially bottom out next week

57 average last year, can't see him averaging below 50 at end of the year even 'taking it easy'

Currently averaging 48 with similar minutes so reckon he is due a big score

I know, I know. I have missed large amounts of Hess money however SMat is a concussion concern at the moment and K Brom hasn't lit the world on fire or is it a little too sideways. I see KBrom hitting peak soon and SMat maybe in a week or so and I feel Hess is just going to keep going up and score more points?

Aren't there better options than Hess at current prices? Whitehead for example?

I missed out on Hess too, but I can crunch the numbers in a way that would makes sense to pick him up now, not unless he is gonna be an 80 min guy from this point on.

I haven no idea but I think now with Taylor back in the squad it'll be Soli that goes to the centres first instead of Whitehead with Bateman and Taylor sharing the lock role.

Don't forget Turner is lurking in the extended bench. I think a large reason we played Whitehead there earlier was because Ricky wanted Cotric to have a comfortable intro rather than throwing two fresh faces out together. It worked ok the first time and not so great the second and Elliot proved this week how important he is on that RHS, so I think there's a decent chance he doesn't get shifted again this year.

According to TBO he will bottom out at 446k.

Locks him in then for me, this week or next

Probably Kbrom first..
And yes Hess has the potential to keep up his scores, even with reduced minutes when Lolo returns.

If Hess plays 80 when Lolo returns he will still be cheap for the scores he can produce in that role, wait and see for me

Yup, agree, that's my point. But that's a pretty big IF at this stage. Given that unknown Whitehead seems a safer option.

def mate! Its potential against a known commodity isn't it

So Ivan Cleary to be named as Tigers coach??

The Gallen thing feels just like when Parker got moved to prop by Bennet.
Anyone want to remind me what happened there

TBO my avatar is for sale if the right offer comes along

Also after those Team Lists does the situation with Moses become any clearer or should i hold and hope

I hope posters on here are fans of South Park

With Smat in some doubt, I might join Booze and SI...
#illridewithAubbs

Aubbs is a good pick up for the bye rounds, and I need to bolster my CTR position as none of the cheapies have proven to be a reliable CTR choice.

I can wait another week to bring whitehead in...

Piss off the lot of you, Aubs is too fragile to carry the expectations of many. Leave him for the few of us that backed him from the start. Go back to discussing Gallen and cupcakes!

To be fair, how many FRF or 2RF are averaging over 50 so far this year?

There have been a heap of injuries and golden point games so some of the stats are inflated a bit too
